NETWORK-CENTRIC WARFARE AND NETWORK-ENABLED CAPABILITY IMPLICATIONS FOR C4ISR-TYPE INFORMATION NETWORKS IN THE ROMANIAN ARMED FORCES

Summary/Abstract: The past two decades have marked the humankind evolution towards the Information Age, a new stage of societal development in which modern society is affected, among other factors, by explosive technological changes. Within this context, technology represents the main changing drive.

This assertion also extends its validity over the military phenomenon, which is just another human behaviour. The large-scale use of information technology and communications has led to a cybernetic battlefield and to changes in the philosophy of waging war, involving the emergence of new concepts that better describe the new reality: Network Centric Warfare and Network Enabled Capabilities.
